Mrs Octavier could be seen holding Diane's cold body very closely and crying loudly. Mr Octavier was rubbing Diane's cold feet to try to revive her when all of a sudden,Diane moved her hands. This action didn't go unnoticed by Danielle who had been staring at her sister with teary eyes.
"Mum" Diane called
"My baby!" Mrs Octavier cried
She hugged Diane tightly while crying
"Are you okay baby?" Her mum asked
"Yes mum, I'm totally fine" Diane confirmed
"Then why did you faint darling?" Her mum asked
"It's your fault mom and dad" Diane said with teary eyes
"My fault, what do mean it's our fault?" Mrs Octavier asked
"Yes dear, please explain to us" Mr Octavier said
"You were trying to keep me away from him" Diane said
"Who dear? Who did we keep you away from?" Mr Octavier asked
"My mate" Diane said
"Mmm maaa matee?" Mrs Octavier said shocked
"Do you have any idea what you are saying right now Diane?" Mr Octavier asked shaking slightly
"Yes dad, I do. After I fell unconscious, I woke up in a really beautiful and huge room. That was where I met him. He told me he was my mate and he had enough evidence to prove it. He then told me that I fell unconscious because of my parents. He told me that you both are hiding a really big secret from me and that that secret could put me in danger" Diane explained
Mr and Mrs Octavier stood there dumbfounded.
'Everything has been ruined' Mr Octavier thought to himself
"I just knew this day would come" Raymond said with a little bit of guilt evident in his voice
"We can't continue doing this to her mum. Let's just tell her the whole truth" Danielle said almost in tears
"No, no, noooo. Keep your mouths shut. No one in this room will say another word" Mrs Octavier yelled angrily
"This is not possible. It just can't be. There's no way the secret that has been kept hidden for 10 years now will be exposed now" Mrs Octavier thought to herself
FLASHBACK (10 YEARS AGO)
"It's a girl"the midwife announced happily
"Can I speak to you, Mr Octavier?"
"Sure Mrs Bee" Mr Octavier said joyfully
They both entered the room where Mrs Octavier sat with her baby on the bed. Danielle and Raymond soon joined their mother and new born sister on the bed
"Could you children please excuse us, I would like to speak to your parents quickly " Mrs Bee said
"Okay ma'am" Danielle and Raymond said simultaneously and scurried out of the room
"Is there any problem Mrs Bee?" Mr Octavier asked concerned
"Not really Mr Octavier, but I noticed something strange on your baby" Mrs Bee announced
"Strange, what is it?" Mrs Octavier asked
"I saw 4 different birthmarks on your baby's body. A birthmark that looks like a wolf is beneath her right foot, another birthmark that looks like a vampire beneath her left foot and another birthmark that looks like a demon on her chest" Mrs Bee explained while showing them the birthmarks
"What could this possibly mean?" Mr Octavier inquired
"It can only mean one thing Mr Octavier" Mrs Bee paused for a while before proceeding
"Please tell us ma'am, I'm getting really scared and worried" Mrs Octavier said
"It means your child is the ..." Mrs Bee paused again
"Will you tell us already? What does this mean?" Mr Octavier half yelled already getting agitated
"It means your child is the Alpha's mate" Mrs Bee dropped the news
"Wwh..haa..attt?" Mr Octavier said
"How can this be possible?" Mrs Octavier cried out
"The Alpha is the only one in Europe who's half hybrid and half demon" Mrs Bee said
"That doesn't prove anything woman" Mr Octavier yelled at her
"You don't seem to understand me Mr Octavier. The Alpha is the only one of his kind which means he's the first dehybrid to ever exist" Mrs Bee explained
"And so what. My husband is right. It doesn't prove that she's his mate. What if she has 3 different mates uhn? At least that explains why she has those birthmarks" Mrs Octavier said
"Remember I said there were 4 birthmarks right?" Mrs Bee asked the angry couple
"Yes" Mr and Mrs Octavier replied simultaneously
"The last birthmark proves that she is his mate. This particular birthmark which is located on her back close to her neck looks like an half hybrid half demon" Mrs Bee showed them the birthmark
"Oh moon goddess, what calamity have you brought upon us. How could you destine my daughter to be mated to that beast"Mrs Octavier cried
Mr Octavier stood staring at his baby girl speechlessly
"We can't question the moon goddess right now. What's done has been done" Mrs Bee said
"You're able to say all this because your daughter wasn't mated to that beast. Our lives will be ruined by this and here you are telling us not to question the moon goddess. Look, I don't care how you are going to do it, just make sure those birthmarks get erased from the child's body today" Mr Octavier shouted in anger
"I understand your plight but I'm afraid I can't erase those birthmarks Mr Octavier" Mrs Bee said
"What do you mean you can't? Why do you call yourself a witch then uhn?" Mr Octavier said angrily while Mrs Octavier wept uncontrollably
"Look here Mr Octavier, I said I couldn't erase the birthmarks but I have another solution to this" Mrs Bee said
"Solution? What solution are you talking about?" Mrs Octavier asked wiping her tears with the back of her palm and sniffing
"I can hide the birthmarks. It'll be invincible" Mrs Bee announced
"Then what you waiting for. Do it right now" Mr Octavier said getting impatient
"There is something you must know first" Mrs Bee said
"What is it? Please, do tell us" Mrs Octavier said
"You must make sure the child never gets anywhere close to the Alpha. If that happens, the Alpha will surely feel the mate bond and the birthmarks will become visible again because of the mate bond" Mrs Bee explained
"That'll never happen. Just do what needs to be done" Mr Octavier said
"In that case, I'll be here tomorrow morning to perform the ritual. Just make sure to get some herbal leaves and also a bowl of fresh blood" Mrs Bee said
"We'll do that. Thank you" Mr Octavier said
"Nothing will happen to you my jewel. Your father and I won't let that beast take you from us" Mrs Octavier said while hugging her child to herself
"Oh and one more thing. Once the birthmarks starts to reappear, she must not go far way from the Alpha" Mrs Bee said
"It can ....."
"Thank you Mrs Bee. You can leave now. We'll get the necessary things for the ritual " Mr Octavier said cutting Mrs Bee off
'The prophecy was made decades ago about a dehybrid who would become an Alpha and also have a mate like no other. If only her parents knew about this prophecy and would be willing to let the child go. Oh moon goddess please forgive me for I have become an hindrance in the fulfilment of this prophecy' Mrs Bee thought to herself as she stared at the couple and their child before leaving
FLASHBACK ENDS
"We're so sorry dear, we had no idea the birthmarks had appeared" Mr Octavier said
"How could you guys keep this away from me uhn? Imagine if he hadn't come to save me, I would have been long dead by now" Diane said with teary eyes
"We're truly sorry dear. We had no idea this day would come so soon. We planned on telling you when you were a bit older because we felt it might be too much for you to digest at such a young age" Mrs Octavier explained in tears
"Danielle and I are also sorry lil' sis. We didn't say anything about it because we were scared that we would be punished for eavesdropping on their conversation 10 years ago so we decided to also keep it a secret" Raymond confessed
"It's okay. I forgive you guys" Diane said cleaning the tear that was about to drop from her eyes
"What else did the Alpha tell you dear?" Mrs Octavier asked wiping her tears
"Nothing much mum. We only did a little introduction" Diane said
"This is so cool. I can't believe our dear little sister found her mate before we did" Danielle said teasingly
"You're right Danielle. Our dear little sister will soon be the next queen of Transylvania. Queen Diane " Raymond said smiling
"Absolutely right big bro. Does this mean the Alpha will be taking our dear Diane with him when he comes to the village?" Danielle asked
"Keep quiet Danielle and stop talking rubbish. My baby's going nowhere with that beast" Mrs Octavier said
"No mum. My mate isn't a beast. He's really nice and handsome too" Diane said blushing
"Awwwwwnnn,she says he's really handsome" Danielle teased
"That's enough teasing now Danielle. Just look at how red her cheeks are now" Raymond said laughing
"Come on kids. Go pack your bags right now" Mrs Octavier said getting angry
"But why mum?" Raymond asked
"We're leaving son. We'll go to your aunt's place in Manilla. No more questions just go pack your bags" Mrs Octavier said
"But darling, what of the Alpha and the mate bond stuff?" Mr Octavier asked
"You won't be going with us honey. You'll stay here so when the Alpha comes, you'll tell him the children went on to live with a relative of ours. About the mate bond, we'll make it invisible again. Mrs Bee taught me how to perform the ritual 10 years ago. I'll quickly get the items ready so we can perform the ritual and leave immediately" Mrs Octavier explained her plan
"Okay darling" Mr Octavier said
"But mom I don't want to go" Diane cried
"Not another word from you missy. You'll do as I say okay. So now go pack your bags and meet me in my room" Mrs Octavier said
